🦷 First tooth, First brush: Why early dental habits matter🦷

🦷 There’s nothing quite like the joy of spotting your baby’s first tooth. That tiny white bud is more than just a milestone—it’s the beginning of your child’s dental journey. And yes, it’s already time to start brushing!

👶 When Should You Start Brushing?

The moment that first tooth pokes through, it’s time to start brushing—twice a day. Even if it’s just one lonely little tooth, early brushing helps prevent decay and sets a lifelong habit of good oral hygiene.

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends using:

• A soft-bristled infant toothbrush

• Gentle circular motions along the gumline and tooth

But here’s the kicker—the earlier you start, the easier it gets. Little ones get used to the feeling, the routine, and the rhythm.

Pro Tip: Start with an Electric Brush!

 Introducing an electric toothbrush as a teething toy early on. The gentle vibration can soothe sore gums and help little ones get used to the feel of brushing. It’s a fun, safe way to make oral care part of playtime, and it lays the groundwork for a lifetime of happy, healthy smiles. 💙
